Blood Blooms

CHAPTER 2

KARCY'S POV

My head was spinning round and round. It's the same feeling that you get after a six hour long giant wheel ride. Ni, it's not. Who am I lying to? It's worse than that. The worst feeling ever. A part of you own soul, the very inner core, the inside soul when it gets tainted. Killing you every second when you try to keep everyone safe from it, safe from you. It tries to take over you. You feel like your head will explode any soon. But it doesn't, when you literally wish for it to happen.

I felt drained. My whole energy was sucked out. Collecting my scattered strength  I opened my  eyes and saw two worried mint orbs.  The shade was fake but the worry was genuine. I stretched my hand and Mayur helped me to sit comfortably.

' How long had I been asleep?'  I asked gazing at my surrounding. My favourite  spot. The high schools rooftop. No one comes here, No one except us. Not even the teachers and Principal Gaur. The rooftop doesn't comes under the schools property and there's a long confusing story behind this. 

' Not much. Just half of the day. It's lunch time right now. Nimi and Krit have gone to bring us lunch.' he said plopping  beside me. Four years ago we designed this place as what it is now. And now this place has become our bower. I threw myself next to him feeling the gentle breeze gazing at the sky from under the tent protecting us from sun light. 

'Is she...' 

'She must be fine. Those mark will fade away soon. You didn't harm her, don't worry.'

'I know, I didn't . No matter what happen, I just can never... I wondered if Nimi  did something when I was asleep.' 

Mayur sighed, 'Well, She was all ready to burn Ara alive. But when you fainted she couldn't leave your side. She was worried as hell. You are her everything.  Her first priority.' 

CAFETERIA

OTHER POV

' And there was literally no expression on her face.  like she just don't care' said Shane.

'Well that's what Karcy is like. You thought she would be scared of the Principal. She knows they can't dismiss her or something. She is the richie rich genius. The school literally runs on the donations of Elixir group of companies. And there's no need to tell who is the owner of that' added Joy adjusting his glasses.

'Yeah , yeah we know its her father. She literally owns a quarter of the town.' sulked Tara 'I just hate those rich parent's spoilt brat. Taking over everything using their filthy money. Hanging at the rooftop partying when we can't even enter there. I just hate her. I hate her damn attitude. Who she think she is, some sort of Queen that she can't have lunch in cafeteria with us commoners. Ignoring everyone like we are some lowly creatures..'

'Calm down girl. Have some water.' said Shane passing her water,' No need to get hyper'

'There is... My bestie is given detention because of her. I don't know what will happen to her... I can't leave her alone with Karcy....' 

'Well Ara should have thought about it before slapping Karcy. Your bestie dug her own grave.' said Dian  angrily tired of the baseless conversation when everything was over. No one stepped in at the moment, when there was time.

'yeah, Why did she slap Karcy at the first place?' asked Joy.

'I don't know..  But I am sure Karcy has done something. She isn't crazy. you know her. She didn't told me anything. But I can feel it. She is hurt from the inside. Broken. I can't leave her like that there.' 

'Yeah. I know both Karcy and Ara very well.  More than you. More than any of you.  So take my advice and stay away from their matter. It's started by the two and so should be ended by the two alone. If you will interfere, Do you think Nimi will stay silent? And If Nimi enters in this than no one can save both you and your bestie.' warned Dian.
